What is the difference between order and molecularity?

Order is the sum of powers of concentration terms in the rate law (experimental, can be fractional or zero). Molecularity is the number of molecules/atoms participating in an elementary step (theoretical, always a whole number, usually 1, 2, or 3).

What is the Arrhenius equation?

The Arrhenius equation relates the rate constant to temperature: k = Ae^(-Ea/RT), where A is the pre-exponential factor, Ea is activation energy, R is gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K), and T is temperature in Kelvin. In logarithmic form: ln(k) = ln(A) - Ea/RT.

What is the half-life formula for first-order reactions?

For first-order reactions, half-life (t₁/₂) is independent of initial concentration and given by: t₁/₂ = 0.693/k = ln(2)/k, where k is the rate constant. This is a characteristic property of first-order reactions.

What is activation energy?

Activation energy (Ea) is the minimum energy required for reactants to overcome the energy barrier and form products. It represents the energy difference between the transition state and reactants. Higher Ea means slower reaction rate.

How does temperature affect rate constant?

Temperature affects rate constant exponentially as per Arrhenius equation. Generally, rate constant approximately doubles for every 10°C rise in temperature. The relationship is: k₂/k₁ = e^[Ea/R(1/T₁ - 1/T₂)].

Rate of Reaction

Rate of reaction measures how fast reactants are converted into products. It is defined as the change in concentration of reactants or products per unit time.

1.1 Definition of Rate

General Reaction: aA + bB → cC + dD

Rate can be expressed in terms of any reactant or product:

\text{Rate} = -\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt} = -\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt} = +\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt} = +\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}

Important Notes:

Negative sign for reactants (concentration decreases)
Positive sign for products (concentration increases)
Division by stoichiometric coefficient to make rate same for all species
Unit: mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹ or M/s

1.2 Types of Rate

Average Rate

Rate measured over a time interval Δt

r_{\text{avg}} = -\frac{\Delta[A]}{\Delta t}

Example: Change from t₁ to t₂

Instantaneous Rate

Rate at a particular instant (Δt → 0)

r = -\frac{d[A]}{dt}

Slope of tangent to concentration-time curve

1.3 Factors Affecting Rate of Reaction

Factor	Effect	Explanation
Concentration	Rate ↑ with concentration ↑	More molecules → More collisions
Temperature	Rate ↑ with temperature ↑	More kinetic energy → More effective collisions
Surface Area	Rate ↑ with surface area ↑	More contact area for heterogeneous reactions
Catalyst	Rate ↑ significantly	Lowers activation energy, provides alternate pathway
Nature of Reactants	Varies	Ionic reactions faster than covalent

1.4 Rate Law

Definition

Rate law expresses the relationship between rate and concentration of reactants.

\text{For: } aA + bB \rightarrow \text{Products}\] \[\text{Rate} = k[A]^x[B]^y

Where:

k = rate constant (characteristic of reaction at given temperature)
x, y = order with respect to A and B (determined experimentally)
x + y = overall order of reaction
Important: x ≠ a and y ≠ b (unless elementary reaction)

⚠️ JEE Important Point

Rate law cannot be written from balanced equation! It must be determined experimentally. The exponents in rate law are NOT necessarily equal to stoichiometric coefficients.

Order and Molecularity

Understanding the difference between order and molecularity is crucial for JEE. These are frequently confused concepts with distinct definitions.

2.1 Order of Reaction

Definition

Order is the sum of powers of concentration terms in the experimentally determined rate law.

\text{Rate} = k[A]^x[B]^y\] \[\text{Order with respect to A} = x\] \[\text{Order with respect to B} = y\] \[\text{Overall Order} = x + y

Characteristics:

Experimental quantity - determined from rate measurements
Can be zero, fractional, or whole number
Can be positive or negative (rare)
Applies to overall reaction
Example: Rate = k[A]^1.5[B]⁰ → Order = 1.5

2.2 Molecularity

Definition

Molecularity is the number of reacting species (molecules, atoms, or ions) that must collide simultaneously in an elementary reaction.

Characteristics:

Theoretical quantity - from reaction mechanism
Always a whole number (1, 2, or 3)
Never zero or fractional
Applies to elementary steps only
Molecularity > 3 is extremely rare (low probability)

2.3 Types Based on Molecularity

Unimolecular

Only one molecule involved

Example:

NH₄NO₂ → N₂ + 2H₂O

PCl₅ → PCl₃ + Cl₂

Bimolecular

Two molecules collide

Example:

2HI → H₂ + I₂

CH₃Br + OH⁻ → CH₃OH + Br⁻

Trimolecular

Three molecules collide

Example:

2NO + O₂ → 2NO₂

(Very rare due to low probability)

2.4 Order vs Molecularity - Comparison Table

Property	Order	Molecularity
Definition	Sum of exponents in rate law	Number of molecules in elementary step
Nature	Experimental	Theoretical
Possible Values	0, fractional, integer, negative	Only 1, 2, or 3 (whole numbers)
Applies To	Overall reaction	Elementary steps only
Can Be Zero?	Yes	No (minimum 1)
Can Be Fractional?	Yes (e.g., 1.5, 2.5)	No (always integer)
Temperature Effect	Generally independent	Always independent
Example	2N₂O₅ → 4NO₂ + O₂ (Order = 1)	2NO + O₂ → 2NO₂ (Molecularity = 3)

💡 JEE Memory Trick

"MOTEL" for Molecularity vs Order:

Molecularity - Only for eLementary reactions
Molecularity - Theoretical, Experiment not needed
Order - Experimental
Order - for overLl reaction

2.5 Determining Order from Experimental Data

Initial Rate Method

Compare rates when concentrations are varied

For reaction: A + B → Products

Rate = k[A]^x[B]^y

Step 1: Keep [B] constant, vary [A]

Rate₁/Rate₂ = ([A]₁/[A]₂)ˣ

Step 2: Keep [A] constant, vary [B]

Rate₁/Rate₂ = ([B]₁/[B]₂)ʸ

📝 Solved Example 1

Question: For reaction 2A + B → C, determine order with respect to A and B from data:

Exp.	[A] (M)	[B] (M)	Rate (M/s)
1	0.1	0.1	2.0 × 10⁻³
2	0.2	0.1	8.0 × 10⁻³
3	0.1	0.2	4.0 × 10⁻³

Solution:

Step 1: Find order w.r.t. A (compare Exp 1 & 2, [B] constant)

\frac{r_2}{r_1} = \left(\frac{[A]_2}{[A]_1}\right)^x\] \[\frac{8.0 \times 10^{-3}}{2.0 \times 10^{-3}} = \left(\frac{0.2}{0.1}\right)^x\] \[4 = 2^x \Rightarrow x = 2

Step 2: Find order w.r.t. B (compare Exp 1 & 3, [A] constant)

\frac{r_3}{r_1} = \left(\frac{[B]_3}{[B]_1}\right)^y\] \[\frac{4.0 \times 10^{-3}}{2.0 \times 10^{-3}} = \left(\frac{0.2}{0.1}\right)^y\] \[2 = 2^y \Rightarrow y = 1

Answer: Order w.r.t. A = 2 Order w.r.t. B = 1 Overall Order = 2 + 1 = 3 Rate law: Rate = k[A]²[B]

Zero Order Reaction

A zero-order reaction is one whose rate is independent of the concentration of reactants. The rate remains constant throughout the reaction.

3.1 Rate Law and Integrated Form

For Reaction: A → Products

Rate Law:

\text{Rate} = k[A]^0 = k

Integrated Rate Law:

\[[A] = [A]_0 - kt\]

where [A]₀ = initial concentration, [A] = concentration at time t

Half-Life:

t_{1/2} = \frac{[A]_0}{2k}

Depends on initial concentration!

Unit of k:

mol L⁻¹ s⁻¹ or M s⁻¹

3.2 Characteristics of Zero Order Reaction

Graph: [A] vs time

Linear graph with negative slope

Slope = -k

Intercept = [A]₀

Graph: Rate vs [A]

Horizontal line parallel to x-axis

Rate = constant = k

Independent of concentration

3.3 Examples of Zero Order Reactions

1.

Photochemical reactions:

H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl (in presence of light)

Rate depends on light intensity, not reactant concentration
2.

Enzyme-catalyzed reactions (at high substrate concentration):

Enzyme gets saturated, rate becomes constant
3.

Heterogeneous reactions on metal surface:

2NH₃(g) → N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) on Pt surface

Surface gets saturated with reactant molecules

📝 Solved Example 2

Question: A zero-order reaction has k = 0.02 mol L⁻¹ min⁻¹. If initial concentration is 0.8 M, calculate:
(a) Concentration after 10 minutes
(b) Half-life
(c) Time for 75% completion

Solution:

(a) Concentration after 10 min:

[A] = [A]_0 - kt\] \[[A] = 0.8 - (0.02)(10)\] \[[A] = 0.8 - 0.2 = 0.6 \text{ M}

(b) Half-life:

t_{1/2} = \frac{[A]_0}{2k} = \frac{0.8}{2 \times 0.02}\] \[t_{1/2} = \frac{0.8}{0.04} = 20 \text{ min}

(c) Time for 75% completion:

75% completion means 25% remains

[A] = 0.25 \times [A]_0 = 0.25 \times 0.8 = 0.2 \text{ M}\] \[0.2 = 0.8 - 0.02t\] \[0.02t = 0.6\] \[t = 30 \text{ min}

Answers: (a) 0.6 M (b) 20 min (c) 30 min

⚠️ JEE Trap

For zero-order reactions, half-life depends on initial concentration! This is opposite to first-order reactions. Each successive half-life is half of the previous one.

Example: If t₁/₂ = 20 min for [A]₀ = 0.8 M, then for remaining 0.4 M, t₁/₂ = 10 min

First Order Reaction

First-order reactions are the most important for JEE. The rate is directly proportional to the concentration of one reactant. Most radioactive decay and many decomposition reactions follow first-order kinetics.

4.1 Rate Law and Integrated Form

For Reaction: A → Products

Rate Law:

\text{Rate} = k[A]

Integrated Rate Law (Exponential form):

[A] = [A]_0 e^{-kt}

Integrated Rate Law (Logarithmic form - Most Used in JEE):

\ln[A] = \ln[A]_0 - kt\] \[\text{or}\] \[\log[A] = \log[A]_0 - \frac{kt}{2.303}\] \[\text{or}\] \[k = \frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A]_0}{[A]}

Half-Life (Independent of initial concentration!):

t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k} = \frac{\ln 2}{k}

Characteristic property: t₁/₂ is CONSTANT!

Unit of k:

s⁻¹ or min⁻¹ or time⁻¹

4.2 Important Formulas for First Order

Time for n half-lives:

t_n = n \times t_{1/2}\] \[[A] = [A]_0 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n

Time for x% completion:

t = \frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-x}

Time for 99% completion:

t_{99\%} = 2 \times 2.303 \times t_{1/2}\] \[t_{99\%} \approx 6.64 \times t_{1/2}

Ratio of times for same %:

\frac{t_1}{t_2} = \frac{\log([A]_0/[A]_1)}{\log([A]_0/[A]_2)}

4.3 Graphical Representation

Graph: ln[A] vs t

✓ Straight line with negative slope

✓ Slope = -k

✓ Intercept = ln[A]₀

Best way to confirm first-order!

Graph: [A] vs t

✓ Exponential decay curve

✓ Not linear

✓ Asymptotic to time axis

✓ Never reaches zero in finite time

📝 Solved Example 3 (JEE Main 2023 Pattern)

Question: A first-order reaction is 20% complete in 10 minutes. Calculate:
(a) Rate constant
(b) Half-life
(c) Time for 75% completion

Solution:

(a) Rate constant:

20% complete means 80% remains

Let [A]₀ = 100, then [A] = 80

k = \frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A]_0}{[A]}\] \[k = \frac{2.303}{10}\log\frac{100}{80}\] \[k = \frac{2.303}{10}\log 1.25\] \[k = \frac{2.303}{10} \times 0.0969\] \[k = 0.0223 \text{ min}^{-1}

(b) Half-life:

t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{k} = \frac{0.693}{0.0223}\] \[t_{1/2} = 31.08 \text{ min}

(c) Time for 75% completion:

75% complete means 25% remains

t = \frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{25}\] \[t = \frac{2.303}{0.0223}\log 4\] \[t = \frac{2.303}{0.0223} \times 0.602\] \[t = 62.16 \text{ min}

Alternative for (c): Using t₁/₂

75% completion = 2 half-lives (100→50→25)

t = 2 × 31.08 = 62.16 min ✓

4.4 Pseudo First Order Reactions

Definition

Higher-order reactions that appear to follow first-order kinetics when one or more reactants are present in large excess.

Classic Example: Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of ester

CH₃COOC₂H₅ + H₂O → CH₃COOH + C₂H₅OH

True rate law: Rate = k[CH₃COOC₂H₅][H₂O]

Since water is in large excess, [H₂O] ≈ constant

Observed rate law: Rate = k'[CH₃COOC₂H₅] where k' = k[H₂O]

Appears first-order!

Other Examples:

Inversion of cane sugar: C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + C₆H₁₂O₆
Hydrolysis of ethyl acetate in dilute HCl

4.5 Examples of First Order Reactions

Reaction	Type	Importance
All radioactive decay	Nuclear	t₁/₂ independent of amount
N₂O₅ → N₂O₄ + ½O₂	Decomposition	Classic JEE example
H₂O₂ → H₂O + ½O₂	Decomposition	Common in labs
2N₂O → 2N₂ + O₂	Decomposition	On gold surface
CH₃Cl + H₂O → CH₃OH + HCl	Pseudo first-order	Excess water

💡 JEE Quick Tips for First Order

t₁/₂ = constant is the signature of first-order
For n half-lives: Remaining = (1/2)ⁿ × initial
Time for 87.5% completion = 3 × t₁/₂ (100→50→25→12.5)
If graph of log[A] vs t is linear → first-order confirmed
Radioactive decay questions ALWAYS follow first-order

Second Order Reaction

5.1 Key Formulas

Rate Law: 2A → Products

\text{Rate} = k[A]^2

Integrated Rate Law:

\frac{1}{[A]} = \frac{1}{[A]_0} + kt

Half-Life:

t_{1/2} = \frac{1}{k[A]_0}

Depends on initial concentration!

Unit of k:

L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ or M⁻¹ s⁻¹

Examples: 2HI → H₂ + I₂, 2NO₂ → 2NO + O₂

Graph of 1/[A] vs t gives straight line with slope = k

Arrhenius Equation & Activation Energy

6.1 Arrhenius Equation

Temperature Dependence of Rate Constant

Exponential Form:

k = Ae^{-E_a/RT}

Logarithmic Form (Most used in JEE):

\ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{RT}\] \[\log k = \log A - \frac{E_a}{2.303RT}

Where:

A = Pre-exponential factor (frequency factor)
E_a = Activation energy (J/mol or kJ/mol)
R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
T = Temperature in Kelvin

6.2 Two-Temperature Formula (Very Important!)

Comparing Rate Constants at Two Temperatures

\log\frac{k_2}{k_1} = \frac{E_a}{2.303R}\left(\frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{1}{T_2}\right)

\ln\frac{k_2}{k_1} = \frac{E_a}{R}\left(\frac{T_2 - T_1}{T_1 T_2}\right)

This is the MOST frequently asked formula in JEE for activation energy calculations!

6.3 Activation Energy

Definition: Minimum energy required for reactants to overcome energy barrier and form products.

Graphical Method:

Plot ln k vs 1/T

Slope = -E_a/R

Intercept = ln A

Effect on Rate:

Higher E_a → Slower reaction

Lower E_a → Faster reaction

Catalyst lowers E_a

📝 Solved Example 4 (JEE Advanced Pattern)

Question: Rate constant of a reaction doubles when temperature increases from 300 K to 310 K. Calculate activation energy. (R = 8.314 J/mol·K)

Solution:

Given:

T₁ = 300 K, T₂ = 310 K

k₂/k₁ = 2

Using formula:

\log\frac{k_2}{k_1} = \frac{E_a}{2.303R}\left(\frac{T_2 - T_1}{T_1 T_2}\right)\] \[\log 2 = \frac{E_a}{2.303 \times 8.314}\left(\frac{310 - 300}{300 \times 310}\right)\] \[0.301 = \frac{E_a}{19.147}\left(\frac{10}{93000}\right)\] \[0.301 = \frac{E_a}{19.147} \times 1.075 \times 10^{-4}\] \[E_a = \frac{0.301 \times 19.147}{1.075 \times 10^{-4}}

E_a = 53,580 \text{ J/mol} = 53.58 \text{ kJ/mol}

⚠️ Common JEE Mistakes

Temperature in Kelvin! Never use Celsius in Arrhenius equation
R value: Use 8.314 J/(mol·K) when E_a in J/mol, or 8.314×10⁻³ kJ/(mol·K) for kJ/mol
Log vs ln: Use log with 2.303, ln without it
In fraction (1/T₁ - 1/T₂), higher temperature T₂ comes second!

Collision Theory

Collision theory explains how reactions occur at molecular level.

Key Points:

Effective collisions: Must have sufficient energy (E ≥ E_a) and proper orientation
Rate ∝ (Number of collisions) × (Fraction with E ≥ E_a) × (Steric factor)
Threshold energy: Minimum kinetic energy for reaction
Activation energy: E_a = E_threshold - E_average

Reaction Mechanisms

Elementary vs Complex Reactions

Elementary reaction: Single step, molecularity = order
Complex reaction: Multiple steps, has intermediates
Rate-determining step (RDS): Slowest step controls overall rate
Steady-state approximation: d[intermediate]/dt ≈ 0

Example: H₂ + I₂ → 2HI appears simple but actually multi-step!
